Secrets #4, 5, 6: Show Passion, Go to Plan B or Z, & Be Sweet

  1. SECRET 4: Show Passion, Enthusiasm, and Excitement for What You Want!
  2. SECRET 5: When You’ve Asked and They’ve Said No, Try Plan B or Z
    • There’s almost always another way to skin the cat, to find something to wear to Atlanta, to pull off what you need to do- you’re just going to have to look around and find it.
    • Show Your Gumption (Courage + Energy)

1) The courage part means that you have the guts to take chances, be daring, and not always do as you’re told. “I’m going to think about things in a different way. I’m open to looking at a pair of curtains and seeing a dress.”

    • Ways to Get What You Want

1) “Kitchen Sink List” – Write down every possible approach you can think of that will lead you to your goal.

a. Spend a few minutes thinking about each strategy, even those you may be tempted to reject as moronic. Pretend that this is the strategy you must use. How would it work? How would you pull it off?

2) Take a little success and make it bigger

3) Steal a Trick from a Different Arena and Apply It (You can copy a strategy from someone who is successful doing what you hope to do)

4) Turn around a rule and think more creatively.

a. First, you simply write down the basic rule everybody seems to be constantly repeating to you. Then write down a phrase that simply negates the first.

b. Then let yourself go. Allow that second phrase to be the jumping off point for some fresh, bold ideas that occurred to you when you were locked into the rule.

    • 2 Things to always keep in mind.

1) Just because it’s never been done doesn’t mean you can’t do it.

2) Just because someone says you shouldn’t doesn’t mean you can’t.

  1. SECRET 6: Be the Super Talkative and Friendly Guy, Be the Person W/ Manners Who Smiles and Says Hello
    • Be a “Sugar Lips” and ask nicely for what you need or want --Sweet Talk First!
    • Flatter them and ask people their opinion
    • How To Find Out Something Bad

1) Let them play multiple choice (Was there someone x? or y?)

2) Do not react. Simply nod and say “Thanks for letting me know.”
